    Re:   one more thing...

    If LMODEM times out and you are dumped back to the link, it
    endlessly repeats t he last sentence or so it tried to send.  is
    there ANY possible interrupt of this other than doing an at-sign
    c and closing the link, then opening again, logging in again,
    refusing to attach (if you attach you are back there again!) and
    then killing the job from outside?

    I would have thought there might be a more convenient  way out
    of that trap.

    Thanks,

    JEP

Try sending a control-U (^U) every time it sends the sentence.  You may
have to repeate this up to ten times untill LMODEM aborts sending that
sector on error count.  Note that control-U = <NAK> so LMODEM thinks
that your local modem program has sent a <NAK> 10 times in a row and
gives up when the error count is reached.

P.S. Be sure to wait untill the entire sector is sent each time befor
typing ctrl-U of LMODEM will flush it as line noise..
